The Rock set for Raw?

The Rock posted the following picture earlier stating that he'll respond to Cena tonight.. Will he be on Raw? I think he will make a video package but you never know he could be there in person.

Chris Jericho: Breaking The Code DVD Review

If you buy this DVD then you'll find out that Chris Jericho is one of the most talented wrestlers on the planet but you, you already know that. Its not often that I actually hand over cash to buy a wrestling DVD these days, not because the prices are too high or the staleness of the product, though that does effect why I don't purchase Supercards any more. The truth is there just isn't many good DVDs coming out, do I really want to see Hulk Hogan and his lost footage? Or the John Cena experience which is basically a long add for his Make A Wish foundation work. I believe that the price (within reason) will not affect the amount sales because at the end of the day quality sells and with this addition to the WWE library that's exactly what you'll get.

To the people who purchased Jericho's first book, there wont be a lot of new information to sink your teeth into and there is definitely no bombshells that will change the perception of a wrestler who has had great matches in all the main wrestling “countries”. What you do get is solid and very entertaining documentary on one of the last of a dying breed. Chris Jericho alongside Chris Benoit and the rest of the Radicals are some of the last wrestlers that actually toured Mexico and Japan and learnt how to wrestle several different styles and can basically have a good match with anyone on the current WWE or TNA rosters. The extras on the DVD include around 18 matches which highlights his upstart as opponents and team mates with the very talented Lance Storm through his WCW Cruiserweight run up until his recent Wrestlemania 26 bout with Edge, every match is a joy to watch and really highlights how Jericho has come along as a wrestler.

Talking solely about the documentary there are quite a few talking heads who have interesting things to say about the Lion Heart and its interesting to see how Jericho feels now towards his WCW run and what he has achieved. The documentary does trail off and talk quite a bit about Jericho's metal band Fozzy which could be quite annoying for your average wrestling fan, but its small price to pay for a must have DVD like this one.

Extras: Includes some of Jericho's best promos including the incredible Man Of A 1004 holds segment and his WWE début where he has a verbal exchange with The Rock.

Overall this DVD is very good all round and I would find it hard for anyone to try and claim this isn't worth the purchase, you will get a great documentary and some of the best matches you have seen especially if you're weaned on today's product, which Jericho openly admits has dropped due to the fact everyone is trained to be mirror images of each other in the ring.

Week In Review: Triple H and Undertaker Return!

This week has saw some very interesting and foolish things from both TNA and WWE, first topic on the agenda is Monday Night Raw and the return of the Undertaker, Triple H and a very non PG John Cena.

Monday night saw John Cena reply to the tongue in cheek promo by The Rock last week, which managed to bury Cena, The Miz and anyone who has attempted to impress with the microphone in the last seven years since we last saw The Rock. Yet that was last week this is this week. My thoughts on the promo are only going to be positive, after last week Cena needed to reply and if he kept to his cookie cutter image it would have made him look weak compared to the giant The Rock is/was. So the return of the rapper side of Cena really helped make him look Bad-Ass as well as give him the aura of an Attitude Era superstar which will be much needed if he has to compete with The Rock on the micro-phone again. My only problem with this was that it made me want to see more of it and that just isn't going to happen while the company stays PG, yet you have to remember back in 1996/97 time WCW was PG as well and they never seemed childish. By the way there is no chance in hell this back and forth between The Rock and John Cena will build up into a match, The Rock has even said he will never wrestle again.

Next up is the fact that Triple H vs The Undertaker has been officially made for Wrestlemania 27. Its not Michaels/Taker 3 but in a way it could be. This is going to be the third part of a trilogy, put it this way Triple H will want vengeance for the death of Michaels in ring career and also want to prove for himself that he can beat the streak. We can pretty much accept that Michaels will have some involvement in the match whether it will be as a referee or outside enforcer. The problem I have is that there is unfinished business for 'Taker and Triple H. Undertaker has the Nexus well Wade Barret anyway, and also Kane. I want to see Kane/Taker as much as I want to see Michael Cole have an interview segment (that actually sounds like fun). However I can forgive the lack of continuous on the Undertaker side of things as Triple H kick started this thing before The Undertaker could say anything. My big problem is that are we supposed to completely forget about the Sheamus feud? The man who has been credited to ending Hunters career came out the segment after in his stupid King costume which makes him look like some sort of Conan reject and never acknowledged anything to do with HHH nor did any of the commentators.

The state of the burial of Sheamus is unforgivable, the fact that this man has built himself up into a decent in ring competitor and now is stuck with this terrible gimmick well and truly a sorry state of affairs. In Sheamus they had a man who was pretty much accepted as a main event level wrestler even though he had beaten anyone of note clean. The only good news is as of Monday Night he seems to have a rivalry going with Daniel Brian.

3.3.11: That's right folks Undertaker is coming to iMPACT!!!! No wait hes not? So TNA ripped off an Undertaker promo to hype Sting? Oh because people thought it was Sting when the 22/2/11 promos started! I get it now TNA just wanted to fuck over the idiots who thought it was Sting back then. Wait a minute? They were mocking WWE? So they mocked WWE for creating a promo that caught peoples attention and created such a buzz on the Internet that it got them thousands maybe millions of more viewers. Despite TNA's efforts to publicly embarrass itself time and time again at least they did manage to sign Sting, maybe they won't blow whatever angle they have planned for him by I don't know giving him the title on his first match back.

Mistico has officially signed a WWE contract to massive hype from WWE itself. Originally it seemed like Mistico would report to FCW shortly, but from the hype WWE are giving the man I can't see how they won't put him straight onto one of the rosters right after Wrestlemania. I have to admit I doubt Mistico now Sin Cara would have handled being treated like everyone else if he went down to FCW. The mexican superstar (literally) has a reputation for being a diva and also has a history with Alberto Del Rio (neither man like each other).

So that pretty much wraps things up for this weekends review few quick notes on Smackdown. Dusty Rhodes turned heel to help Cody against Mysterio and that's about it. Ring Of Honor had its 9th Anniversary Show last night, you have a full review coming soon.

Remember you can follow me on Twitter for updates on the blog at @M_Kondratiuk and now I will leave with the video of the week which features highlights of Mistico from CMLL and his other adventures down in Mexico. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kl5tWTpkjI8&playnext=1&list=PL5EF7CA4DB9CDFEBE.

WRESTLEMANIA 27 UPDATE!!

The Undertaker vs Triple H has been officailly made for Wrestlemania 27 in the Georgia Dome, as yet the match doesn't have any stipulations but you can expect that Hall Of Fame bound Shawn Michaels will feature in the bout in some way.

Would of been nice, right?
